Hello! Welcome to my website and blog.

When used as an Italian idiom, per caso implies a wonderful process by which stuff comes together to create an opportunity that is seemingly by chance.

There are many other words… luck [when preparation meets opportunity]; courage [putting what’s important to you above your fear]; karma, destiny, fate….

I like these concepts because they encourage us to increase our awareness and live in the moment.

Please enjoy my site… it challenges me to acknowledge my courage and prepare for my luck!

Hmmm…. just a follow-up on the case I mentioned in my Welcome post where I was admittedly biased during jury selection… I’m sorry that this woman chose to live with this self-inflicted nightmare for two years! Here’s the trial outcome as written in the Napa Valley Register:

A Napa County jury Tuesday morning rejected a San Ramon woman’s claim she contracted herpes from a 2005 facial she received at the Villagio Inn & Spa in Yountville.

By a count of 10-2, jurors in the civil case took only a few hours to reject Kara Ginney’s testimony that her face was punctured by a contaminated metal instrument a beauty technician used during her treatment.

Ginney charged Villagio was negligent and the treatment gave her what is known as the herpes simplex one virus, which can cause cold sores and skin lesions. The beauty technician involved in the case, Leda Tar, did not remember giving Ginney her facial on Sept. 10, 2005. On that day, Ginney and a few friends went to the Villagio as part of Ginney’s 40th birthday celebration. read more…
